Premium Hay, Grown with Purpose in the Imperial Valley

Since 1946, Osterkamp Farms has produced high-quality Alfalfa, Bermuda, and Teff grass hay for dairies and livestock operations across the region. What began as a family effort to feed their own dairy has grown into a trusted source of carefully graded big bales and retail feed—harvested, stored, and available year-round. Rooted in the unique landscape of the Imperial Valley and guided by a multi-generational commitment to land preservation, water conservation, and wildlife stewardship, we deliver consistent, nutritious feed while working to leave the land better than we found it.

FARMING THE IMPERIAL VALLEY

PROVIDING ALFALFA, BERMUDA, AND TEFF GRASS FOR FEED

Our family started farming in the Imperial Valley in 1946 to produce alfalfa for the family dairy. Geographically, the ranch is rare in the Imperial Valley as the entire farm is in one location. As the ranch expanded, we have learned to understand the needs of the individual fields and adjacent properties. At Osterkamp Farms, our priority is improving the land through conservation. We have had three fundamental missions of stewardship: land preservation, water conservation and wildlife protection.
